B.L 111 ' The American flag has been planted acrußß the Rio Grande. What will take it down, when and how, are secrets that only the future hold. In the first little scrap with Mexico the United States marines demonstrated that they can do it when neecessary and they do it in a brave American way that no other nation can Imitate. The republicans are holding a state convention today but with the big headlines taken up with war news, it

will take some special advertising for them to let the people of the state know it. The Women’s Civic League, organized for the purpose of beautifying Decatur, and making this a cleaner and better city in which to live are making progress. The people are with them and we congratulate these ladies upo'i their effort, their stick-to-it-tP.enets and their ability to do things. When we interfere in a family <juar-j rel they usually unite to fight the com-. mon enemy. It looks as though that would be the result in Mexico, bv.t Mexico united is a mighty weak sister

’ and should not worry this nation very - much. Statistics show that in that * nation there are less than 100,000 rncn . of fighting age, eighteen to forty-five ! while this country has more than fifteen million. We are equipped and they are not. We are organized while ! they are divided In factions. There can be no particular glorying In our victories and while this nation mutt be firm and must insist that the dig-

nity be upheld, we should be careful not to cause more disaster than net essary. Henry Watterson one of tlie greatest newspaper writers of the country has this tc say tn today's Louisville Courier:

1 "Yes, verily, we are in for it. 1 Tramp, tramp, the boys are march- . ing they may not be just shouting the battle cry of freedom. War never ends where it started. Militarism in 1 the saddle knows not where to stop, and southward the star of empire takes its way. The whine of uplift crowd may please, or fool, the Pharisaic, but it is war, and war. as Forrest observed, means fighting, and fighting means killing, and. when it is over, there comes the forfeit, the In 1 demnity, and it is not worth our whi!?. > nor will it pay us, to lie about onr ' 1 peaceful intentions and pious purposes,

e thinking to placate or bamboozle the rest of Latin-America. Sound the bold anthem. On to the Isthmus." UNDERGOES OPERATION. James Hendricks and son. Howard, and Dr. M. F. Parrish of Monroe pass 1 ed through the city this morning on , their way to Fort Wayne where at ten o'clock this morning an operation will be held on Howard for append!.?!I tis at the Lutheran hspital.
